According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Indonesia's middle class has a spending range of between Rp2.04 million and Rp9.91 million per capita per month in 2024.

However, the spending of the middle class is generally at a low level.

"If we look at the mode, the majority of the middle-class population tends to be closer to the lower bound of the middle-class grouping," said Acting Head of BPS Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti in a meeting with Commission XI of the DPR on Wednesday (28/8/2024).

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. Amalia stated that the mode of Indonesian middle-class spending this year is only around Rp2.06 million per capita per month.

However, she did not specify the exact number or proportion of the middle class that falls into that group.

According to Amalia, this phenomenon indicates that the Indonesian middle class finds it difficult to move up to the upper class and is vulnerable to downward mobility.

"There is vulnerability; if [the middle class economy] is disrupted, they will fall back into the aspiring middle class," she said.
